- the outer diameter of the turns of the spring 26 in the rest position is greater than the outer diameter of these turns in the elongation position.
- the blood flow can therefore pass through the end of the dilatation catheter by entering via the orifices 3 and leaving by the orifices 4. To obtain the abovementioned elongation position, it will therefore suffice to exert traction on the sliding tube 29.

- the outer sheath 6 will be in the folded state shown in Figures 1 and 8.
- the dimensions of the catheter are then quite comparable to those of a conventional dilatation catheter.
- the balloon 2 is then inflated to dilate the stenosis in a conventional manner as shown in FIGS. 2 and 9.
- the balloon 2 is then deflated to allow the fitting of the sleeve 11 or the spring 26.
- the catheter can remain in this latter position for a very long time (of the order of several tens of minutes, if necessary) and thus allow a lasting treatment of the stenosis.

Description
Cathéter de dilatationDilatation catheter
La présente invention a pour objet un cathéter de dilatation à perfusion destiné à être introduit dans un canal corporel tel que notamment un vaisseau sanguin.The subject of the present invention is a perfusion dilation catheter intended to be introduced into a body channel such as in particular a blood vessel.
L'invention trouve principalement application dans le domaine du traitement des affections des artères coronaires mais peut être également utilisée dans le domaine du traitement des affections d'autres canaux corporels, comme par exemple l'oesophage ou l'urètre.The invention mainly finds application in the field of the treatment of affections of the coronary arteries but can also be used in the field of the treatment of affections of other bodily channels, such as for example the esophagus or the urethra.
Ces affections résultent généralement de la présence, sur les parois internes du canal de dépôts entraînant des rétrécissements ou sténoses de celui-ci. Dans le traitement de ces affections, un cathéter de dilation est généralement utilisé :These affections generally result from the presence, on the internal walls of the canal of deposits resulting in narrowing or stenoses of this one. In the treatment of these conditions, a dilation catheter is generally used:
- d'une part, pour rétablir la section normale de passage du canal au niveau de la sténose par compression à l'aide d'un ballon (ou ballonet) , - d'autre part, pour injecter, par exemple à travers la paroi du ballon un produit de traitement destiné à rendre durable le rétablissement de la section de passage du canal en formant éventuellement in-situ une prothèse de section correspondante.- on the one hand, to restore the normal section of passage of the channel at the level of the stenosis by compression using a balloon (or balloon), - on the other hand, to inject, for example through the wall a treatment product from the balloon intended to make the restoration of the passage section of the canal lasting, possibly forming a prosthesis of corresponding section in situ.
Lors de la compression (écrasement des dépôts par le ballon) , le canal est généralement complètement obturé par le ballon. Or, il est nécessaire de maintenir, pendant l'intervention, une circulation minimale de fluide dans le canal corporel, afin de ne pas risquer d'endommager les tissus ou organes situés en aval du ballon. Diverses solutions ont été proposées dans l'état de la technique pour résoudre ce problème.During compression (crushing of deposits by the balloon), the channel is generally completely closed by the balloon. However, it is necessary to maintain, during the intervention, a minimum circulation of fluid in the body channel, so as not to risk damaging the tissues or organs located downstream of the balloon. Various solutions have been proposed in the state of the art to solve this problem.
Ainsi, dans les documents US 4 771 777, 4 790 315 ou 4 892 519, il est proposé de faire circuler le fluide corporel au travers de l'organe tubulaire interne du cathéter de dilatation servant au passage du guide. Cette solution n'est cependant pas satisfaisante car la section de passage du fluide corporel est limitée, d'une part, en raison du faible diamètre de l'organe tubulaire interne, d'autre part, en raison de la présence du guide. Dans le document US 5,000,734, il est proposé de faire circuler le fluide corporel au travers du ballon. A cet effet, le ballon comporte, à l'état gonflé, une pluralité de conduits longitudinaux.Thus, in documents US 4,771,777, 4,790,315 or 4,892,519, it is proposed to circulate the bodily fluid through the internal tubular member of the dilation catheter serving for the passage of the guide. This solution is however not satisfactory because the cross-section of passage of the bodily fluid is limited, on the one hand, due to the small diameter of the internal tubular member, on the other hand, due to the presence of the guide. In document US 5,000,734, it is proposed to circulate the bodily fluid through the balloon. To this end, the balloon comprises, in the inflated state, a plurality of longitudinal conduits.
Cette solution qui constitue un perfectionnement relativement à celle décrite dans les documents précités n'est cependant pas entièrement satisfaisante.This solution, which constitutes an improvement relative to that described in the aforementioned documents, is however not entirely satisfactory.
En effet, comme on le comprend, la section de passage du fluide corporel dépend du nombre et du diamètre des conduits prévus sur le ballon. Or, de tels conduits sont relativement difficiles à réaliser et un nombre trop important de conduits nuirait à la résistance mécanique du ballon.Indeed, as we understand, the body fluid passage section depends on the number and diameter of the conduits provided on the ball. However, such conduits are relatively difficult to produce and an excessive number of conduits would adversely affect the mechanical strength of the balloon.
Dans ces conditions, la présente invention a pour but de résoudre le problème technique consistant en la fourniture d'un cathéter de dilatation d'une nouvelle conception, assurant une section de passage du fluide corporel importante, qui puisse être réalisé facilement à l'échelle industrielle, et dont la mise en oeuvre reste relativement aisée.Under these conditions, the present invention aims to solve the technical problem consisting in the supply of a dilation catheter of a new design, ensuring a large cross-section of body fluid, which can be easily achieved on a scale. industrial, and whose implementation remains relatively easy.
La solution, conforme à la présente invention, pour résoudre ce problème technique consiste en un cathéter de dilatation, destiné à être introduit dans un canal corporel tel que notamment un vaisseau sanguin, du type comprenant :The solution, in accordance with the present invention, for solving this technical problem consists of a dilation catheter, intended to be introduced into a body channel such as in particular a blood vessel, of the type comprising:
- un élément tubulaire externe comportant une partie distale et une partie proximale, présentant au niveau de sa partie distale une portion deformable radialement comportant un ballon, et de part et d'autre de ce ballon au moins un orifice communiquant avec ledit canal corporel et permettant le passage du fluide circulant dans le canal corporel à l'intérieur dudit élément tubulaire externe ; - un élément tubulaire interne, disposé intérieurement audit élément tubulaire externe, et permettant le passage d'un guide ; - un micro-tube, disposé de préférence intérieurement audit organe tubulaire externe, débouchant à une extrémité à l'intérieur dudit ballon et relié à son autre extrémité à une source d'alimentation en fluide pour permettre le gonflage et le dégonflage dudit ballon, caractérisé en ce que :an external tubular element comprising a distal part and a proximal part, having at its distal part a radially deformable portion comprising a balloon, and on either side of this balloon at least one orifice communicating with said body channel and allowing the passage of the fluid circulating in the body channel inside said external tubular element; - an internal tubular element, disposed internally to said external tubular element, and allowing the passage of a guide; - a micro-tube, preferably placed internally to said external tubular member, opening at one end inside said balloon and connected at its other end to a source of fluid supply to allow inflation and deflation of said balloon, characterized in that :
- ledit ballon comprend une paroi externe destinée à venir en contact avec la paroi interne dudit canal corporel, en position d'utilisation ; et une paroi interne fixée de manière étanche à ladite paroi externe et susceptible de délimiter avec celle-ci, en position d'utilisation, une cavité interne annulaire ;- Said balloon comprises an external wall intended to come into contact with the internal wall of said body channel, in the position of use; and an internal wall fixed in a sealed manner to said external wall and capable of delimiting therewith, in the position of use, an annular internal cavity;
- et en ce qu'il comprend en outre un élément de support conformé pour maintenir en position d'utilisation ladite paroi interne du ballon, tout en permettant la circulation du fluide corporel dans l'espace compris entre ledit élément interne et la paroi interne du ballon.- And in that it further comprises a support element shaped to maintain in position of use said internal wall of the balloon, while allowing the circulation of the bodily fluid in the space between said internal element and the internal wall of the ball.
Ainsi, l'originalité de la présente invention vis-à-vis de l'état de la technique réside dans le fait qu'en utilisant un ballon à double paroi, associé à un moyen de support approprié, on libère une partie importante de la section du cathéter comprise entre la paroi interne du ballon et l'élément tubulaire interne servant au passage du guide, en permettant ainsi de maintenir une circulation quasiment normale du fluide dans le canal corporel.Thus, the originality of the present invention with respect to the state of the art lies in the fact that by using a double-walled balloon, associated with an appropriate support means, a significant part of the section of the catheter comprised between the internal wall of the balloon and the internal tubular element serving for the passage of the guide, thereby allowing to maintain an almost normal circulation of the fluid in the body channel.
Un tel cathéter peut donc être maintenu en position d'utilisation dans le canal corporel pendant une durée de temps très importante tout à fait suffisante pour rendre durable le rétablissement de la section normale de passage du canal par des traitements appropriés connus dans la technique et rappelés précédemment.Such a catheter can therefore be maintained in the position of use in the body canal for a very long period of time, quite sufficient to make the restoration of the normal section of passage of the canal lasting, by appropriate treatments known in the art and recalled. previously.
L'expression "position d'utilisation" utilisée dans le cadre de la présente description et des revendications désigne la position de traitement de la sténose, dans laquelle le ballon est- à l'état gonflé.The expression "position of use" used within the framework of the present description and of the claims designates the position of treatment of the stenosis, in which the balloon is in the inflated state.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description explicative qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non-limitatifs illustrant deux modes de réalisation actuellement préférés de l'invention et dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics and advantages thereof will appear more clearly on reading the explanatory description which follows, made with reference to the appended schematic drawings given only by way of nonlimiting examples illustrating two currently preferred embodiments of the invention and in which:

Dans la description qui va suivre, le canal corporel choisi à titre d'exemple est un vaisseau sanguin non représenté comme en particulier une artère coronaire.In the description which follows, the body channel chosen by way of example is a blood vessel not shown, in particular a coronary artery.
En outre, on désignera par le terme "avant" la partie distale d'un élément et par le terme "arrière" sa partie proximale.In addition, the term "front" will designate the distal part of an element and the term "rear" its proximal part.
On a donc représenté aux figures 1 à 7 la partie ^ distale d'un cathéter de dilatation conforme à un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention. Ce cathéter comporte un élément tubulaire externe comportant une partie distale et une partie proximale non représentée et un élément tubulaire interne 1 disposé intérieurement audit élément tubulaire externe, de façon concentrique ou excentrique (voir figure 7) . L'élément tubulaire interne 1 présente une section transversale sensiblement circulaire et permet le passage d'un guide généralement réalisé sous forme d'un fil. Ce guide est utilisé pour faciliter le placement du cathéter de dilatation au delà de l'extrémité distale du cathéter guide non représenté. L'élément tubulaire interne 1 peut être réalisé par exemple en une matière telle qu'un thermoplastique semi-rigide comme par exemple un polyéthylène, un polyamide, un polyuréthane ou un copolymère du type Pebax ^ commercialisé par la Société Atochem. L'élément tubulaire externe présente au niveau de sa partie distale une portion deformable radiale ent et comportant un ballon gonflable 2, et de part et d'autre de ce ballon au moins un orifice 3 (en amont) et 4 (en aval) communiquant en position d'utilisation avec le vaisseau sanguin dans lequel le cathéter est introduit, en permettant ainsi le passage du sang circulant dans le vaisseau à l'intérieur de l'élément tubulaire externe.It was therefore shown in Figures 1 to 7 the distal portion ^ of a dilatation catheter according to a first embodiment of the invention. This catheter has an element external tubular comprising a distal part and a proximal part not shown and an internal tubular element 1 disposed internally to said external tubular element, concentrically or eccentrically (see FIG. 7). The internal tubular element 1 has a substantially circular cross section and allows the passage of a guide generally produced in the form of a wire. This guide is used to facilitate placement of the dilatation catheter beyond the distal end of the not shown guide catheter. The internal tubular element 1 can be produced, for example, from a material such as a semi-rigid thermoplastic such as, for example, a polyethylene, a polyamide, a polyurethane or a copolymer of the Pebax ^ type sold by the company Atochem. The external tubular element has at its distal portion a deformable radial portion ent and comprising an inflatable balloon 2, and on either side of this balloon at least one orifice 3 (upstream) and 4 (downstream) communicating in the position of use with the blood vessel into which the catheter is inserted, thus allowing the passage of the blood circulating in the vessel inside the external tubular element.
Dans l'exemple représenté aux figures, l'élément tubulaire externe comprend un tube flexible 5 sur la partie avant de laquelle est fixée de façon étanche, par exemple par thermosoudure ou au moyen d'un adhésif, une partie formant gaine deformable radialement, généralement référencée 6, faisant corps avec le ballon 2. Le ballon 2 peut être intégré à la gaine 6, comme dans l'exemple représenté, ou rapporté sur celle-ci.In the example shown in the figures, the external tubular element comprises a flexible tube 5 on the front part of which is tightly fixed, for example by heat sealing or by means of an adhesive, a part forming a radially deformable sheath, generally referenced 6, forming a body with the balloon 2. The balloon 2 can be integrated into the sheath 6, as in the example shown, or attached to it.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la partie formant gaine 6 est fixée de façon étanche par sa partie avant de forme générale cylindro- conique en position d'utilisation, à l'élément tutulaire interne 1 dont la partie avant se prolonge au delà de l'extrémité avant du tube externe 5.In the embodiment shown, the sheath part 6 is tightly fixed by its front part of generally cylindrical conical shape in the use position, to the internal tutular element 1, the front part of which extends beyond the front end of the outer tube 5.
Dans une variante de réalisation, la partie formant gaine 6 peut être intégrée, c'est-à-dire réalisée en une seule pièce avec l'élément tubulaire externe. Dans ce cas, ce dernier aura une longueur sensiblement égale à celle de l'élément tubulaire interneIn an alternative embodiment, the sheath part 6 can be integrated, that is to say made in one piece with the external tubular element. In this case, the latter will have a length substantially equal to that of the internal tubular element.
1. Le tube 5 pourra être réalisé par exemple en une matière telle que celle servant à réaliser l'élément tubulaire interne 1.1. The tube 5 could be produced for example from a material such as that used to produce the internal tubular element 1.
Le ballon 2 peut être réalisé en une matière telle que un polyéthylène réticulé, un polyamide ou un polyéthylène téréphtalate biorientés. Ces matières ont été décrites dans l'état de la technique.The balloon 2 can be made of a material such as a crosslinked polyethylene, a polyamide or a polyethylene terephthalate biorientés. These materials have been described in the state of the art.
La gaine deformable 6 peut être réalisée dans la même matière que le ballon 2 ou encore dans une matière compatible avec celle-ci.The deformable sheath 6 can be made of the same material as the balloon 2 or even of a material compatible with it.
L'élément tubulaire externe comporte un micro-canal ou micro-tube 7 sensiblement longitudinal, débouchant à son extrémité avant à l'intérieur du ballon 2 et relié à son autre extrémité à une source d'alimentation en fluide non représentée, permettant le gonflage et le dégonflage du ballon 2.The external tubular element comprises a substantially longitudinal micro-channel or micro-tube 7, opening at its front end inside the balloon 2 and connected at its other end to a source of fluid supply, not shown, allowing inflation. and deflating the balloon 2.
Le micro-canal ou micro-tube 7 peut être réalisé par exemple en une matière telle que celle servant à réaliser le tubeThe micro-channel or micro-tube 7 can be produced for example from a material such as that used to produce the tube
5.5.
Le ballon 2 comprend une paroi externe 8 de forme généralement cylindrique en position d'utilisation, destinée à venir en contact avec la paroi interne du vaisseau en écrasant les dépôts entraînant la sténose. Le ballon 2 comporte en outre une paroi interne 9 fixée latéralement de manière étanche à la paroi externe 8 et délimitant avec celle-ci une cavité interne 10.The balloon 2 comprises an external wall 8 of generally cylindrical shape in the position of use, intended to come into contact with the internal wall of the vessel by crushing the deposits causing the stenosis. The balloon 2 also comprises an internal wall 9 fixed laterally in leaktight manner to the external wall 8 and delimiting with the latter an internal cavity 10.
Lorsque le ballon 2 est gonflé, la paroi interne 9 se collabe sous l'effet de la pression (voir figures 2 et 4) . On peut ainsi réaliser la dilatation de la sténose de façon classique.When the balloon 2 is inflated, the internal wall 9 collabels under the effect of the pressure (see FIGS. 2 and 4). It is thus possible to dilate the stenosis in a conventional manner.
Il est également possible, et ceci constitue le fondement de la présente invention, de donner à la cavité interneIt is also possible, and this forms the basis of the present invention, to give the internal cavity
10 une forme annulaire à section transversale sensiblement rectangulaire, en prévoyant un élément de support de la paroi interne 9 destiné à reprendre les efforts dûs à la pression à l'intérieur du ballon, et à libérer-ûne large lumière pour le passage du fluide corporel.10 an annular shape with a substantially rectangular cross section, by providing a support element for the internal wall 9 intended to absorb the forces due to the pressure at inside the balloon, and to release a large lumen for the passage of bodily fluid.
Dans ce premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'élément de support précité comprend un manchon 11 de forme généralement cylindrique, et dont la longueur est sensiblement égale à celle du ballon 2.In this first embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned support element comprises a sleeve 11 of generally cylindrical shape, the length of which is substantially equal to that of the balloon 2.
Le manchon 11 est déplaçable longitudinalement entre une position de repos, dans laquelle il se trouve en amont du ballon 2 (figure 2) et une position de travail dans laquelle il vient supporter et maintenir la paroi interne 9 du ballon 2 (figure 3) en l'écartant de l'élément tubulaire 1 et en créant ainsi une lumière 13 pour le passage du sang à l'intérieur du manchon.The sleeve 11 is movable longitudinally between a rest position, in which it is located upstream of the balloon 2 (FIG. 2) and a working position in which it comes to support and maintain the internal wall 9 of the balloon 2 (FIG. 3) in moving it away from the tubular element 1 and thus creating a lumen 13 for the passage of blood inside the sleeve.
Comme on le comprend, il est possible, en jouant sur les dimensions du ballon 2 (notamment de la largeur de la cavité interne 10), d'obtenir une large lumière 13.As can be understood, it is possible, by varying the dimensions of the balloon 2 (in particular the width of the internal cavity 10), to obtain a large lumen 13.
Le manchon 11 est relié à son extrémité arrière, par l'intermédiaire d'une paroi conique 14 à un tube coulissant 15 de section transversale sensiblement circulaire, dont le diamètre interne est légèrement supérieur au diamètre externe de l'élément tubulaire 1 et dont le diamètre externe est inférieur au diamètre interne du tube 5. Le tube 15 est par conséquent déplaçable de façon guidée le long de l'élément tubulaire 1 formant ainsi un moyen de commande en déplacement longitudinal du manchon 11.The sleeve 11 is connected at its rear end, via a conical wall 14 to a sliding tube 15 of substantially circular cross section, the internal diameter of which is slightly greater than the external diameter of the tubular element 1 and the outer diameter is less than the inner diameter of the tube 5. The tube 15 is therefore movable in a guided manner along the tubular element 1 thus forming a means for controlling the longitudinal displacement of the sleeve 11.
La paroi conique 14 comporte un ou plusieurs orifices 16 permettant le passage à l'intérieur du manchon 11 du sang provenant du vaisseau sanguin à travers les orifices 3 situés en amont du ballon 2 (voir flèches F) .The conical wall 14 has one or more orifices 16 allowing the passage of blood from the blood vessel inside the sleeve 11 through the orifices 3 located upstream of the balloon 2 (see arrows F).
De préférence, le manchon 11 comporte à son extrémité avant une paroi conique 17 destinée à faciliter la mise en place du manchon 11 dans sa position de travail représentée à la figure 3.Preferably, the sleeve 11 has at its front end a conical wall 17 intended to facilitate the positioning of the sleeve 11 in its working position shown in FIG. 3.
La paroi conique avant 17 comporte un ou plusieurs orifices 18 coopérant avec les orifices 4 situés en aval du ballon 2 pour assurer le passage du sang de l'intérieur du manchon 11 vers la partie du vaisseau sanguin situé en aval du ballon (voir flèches F,). Le manchon 11 pourra être réalisé d'une seule pièce avec la paroi conique avant 17, la paroi conique arrière 14 et le tubeThe front conical wall 17 has one or more orifices 18 cooperating with the orifices 4 located downstream of the balloon 2 to ensure the passage of blood from the interior of the sleeve 11 to the part of the blood vessel located downstream of the balloon (see arrows F ,). The sleeve 11 can be made in one piece with the front conical wall 17, the rear conical wall 14 and the tube
15 par exemple en une matière telle que celle servant à réaliser le tube 5 ou bien encore en un fluor éthylène propylène (F.E.P.) qui présente de bonnes caractéristiques de friction.15 for example in a material such as that used to make the tube 5 or alternatively in an ethylene propylene fluorine (F.E.P.) which has good friction characteristics.
Sur les figures 1 à 3, les chiffres de référence 20,In FIGS. 1 to 3, the reference numbers 20,
21, 22, 23 désignent des orifices respectivement prévus dans l'élément tubulaire interne 1, dans la paroi avant 17 du manchon21, 22, 23 denote orifices respectively provided in the internal tubular element 1, in the front wall 17 of the sleeve
11, dans la paroi arrière 16 du manchon 11 et dans la partie arrière de la gaine 6, pour le passage latéral d'un guide.11, in the rear wall 16 of the sleeve 11 and in the rear part of the sheath 6, for the lateral passage of a guide.
Les orifices 22 et 23 se trouvent sensiblement en vis-à-vis lorsque le manchon 11 se trouve en position de repos représentée à la figure 2.The orifices 22 and 23 are substantially opposite when the sleeve 11 is in the rest position shown in FIG. 2.
Le chiffre de référence 24 désigne un élément métallique radio-opaque dont la fonction est de permettre de visualiser la position du ballon 2 par radioscopie. Il s'agit d'un élément largement décrit dans l'état de la technique. Dans l'exemple représenté, cet élément est réalisé sous forme d'une bague disposée autour de l'élément tubulaire interne 1. On a représenté aux figures 8 à 10 la partie distale d'un cathéter de dilatation conforme à un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention.The reference numeral 24 designates a radiopaque metallic element whose function is to allow the position of the balloon 2 to be viewed by fluoroscopy. This is an element widely described in the state of the art. In the example shown, this element is produced in the form of a ring disposed around the internal tubular element 1. FIGS. 8 to 10 show the distal part of a dilatation catheter according to a second embodiment of the invention.
Les éléments identiques à ceux décrits en référence au premier mode de réalisation sont désignés par des chiffres de référence identiques.Elements identical to those described with reference to the first embodiment are designated by identical reference numbers.
Dans ce deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'élément de support précité comprend un ressort hélicoïdal 26 dont l'extrémité avant 27 disposée en aval du ballon 2 est fixe, par exemple soudé à l'élément tubulaire interne 1, et dont l'extrémité arrière 28 est mobile, par exemple en étant fixé dans un logement prévu dans un tube coulissant 29 semblable au tube 15 décrit en référence au premier mode de réalisation.In this second embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned support element comprises a helical spring 26 whose front end 27 disposed downstream of the balloon 2 is fixed, for example welded to the internal tubular element 1, and whose the rear end 28 is movable, for example by being fixed in a housing provided in a sliding tube 29 similar to the tube 15 described with reference to the first embodiment.
Le ressort 28 est susceptible d'occuper une position d'allongement, représentée aux figures 8 et 9, obtenue par traction de l'extrémité arrière 28, et une position de repos représentée à la figure 10, dans laquelle ses spires situées au niveau du ballon viennent supporter et maintenir la paroi interneThe spring 28 is capable of occupying an elongation position, shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, obtained by pulling the rear end 28, and a rest position shown in FIG. 10, in which its turns located at level of the balloon support and maintain the internal wall
9 du ballon, en l'écartant de l'élément tubulaire 1 et en créant ainsi une large lumière pour le passage du sang.9 of the balloon, moving it away from the tubular element 1 and thereby creating a large lumen for the passage of blood.
Le diamètre externe des spires du ressort 26 en position de repos est supérieur au diamètre externe de ces spires en position d'allongement.The outer diameter of the turns of the spring 26 in the rest position is greater than the outer diameter of these turns in the elongation position.
Le flux sanguin peut donc traverser l'extrémité du cathéter de dilatation en entrant par les orifices 3 et en sortant par les orifices 4. Pour obtenir la position d'allongement précitée, il suffira donc d'exercer une traction sur le tube coulissant 29.The blood flow can therefore pass through the end of the dilatation catheter by entering via the orifices 3 and leaving by the orifices 4. To obtain the abovementioned elongation position, it will therefore suffice to exert traction on the sliding tube 29.
Le ressort 26 pourra être réalisé par exemple en un fil de préférence de section transversale rectangulaire, en acier inoxydable, par exemple norme A.I.S.I. 304, ou en alliage métallique à mémoire de forme et haute élasticité, par exemple du type NITINOL® .The spring 26 may for example be made of a wire preferably of rectangular cross section, made of stainless steel, for example standard A.I.S.I. 304, or a metal alloy with shape memory and high elasticity, for example of the NITINOL® type.
Ce ressort hélicoïdal peut être éventuellement remplacé par toute structure deformable radialement par rapprochement de ses extrémités comme une grille ou une tresse métallique. Les cathéters conformes aux deux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits pourront être utilisés relativement aisément, par une technique très proche de celle décrite dans l'état de la technique.This helical spring can optionally be replaced by any radially deformable structure by bringing its ends together like a grid or a metallic braid. The catheters conforming to the two embodiments which have just been described can be used relatively easily, by a technique very close to that described in the prior art.
Ainsi, le cathéter sera introduit à l'aide d'un guide métallique d'une façon classique, jusqu'au niveau de la sténose.Thus, the catheter will be introduced using a metal guide in a conventional manner, up to the level of the stenosis.
Lors de cette opération, la gaine externe 6 sera à l'état replié représenté aux figures 1 et 8. Les dimensions du cathéter sont alors tout à fait comparables à celles d'un cathéter de dilatation classique. Le ballon 2 est ensuite gonflé pour dilater la sténose d'une façon classique comme représenté aux figures 2 et 9.During this operation, the outer sheath 6 will be in the folded state shown in Figures 1 and 8. The dimensions of the catheter are then quite comparable to those of a conventional dilatation catheter. The balloon 2 is then inflated to dilate the stenosis in a conventional manner as shown in FIGS. 2 and 9.
Le ballon 2 est ensuite dégonflé pour permettre la mise en place du manchon 11 ou du ressort 26.The balloon 2 is then deflated to allow the fitting of the sleeve 11 or the spring 26.
Puis le ballon 2 est gonflé une deuxième fois pour dilater à . nouveau la sténose tout en permettant le passage quasiment normal du flux sanguin au travers du cathéter (figures 3 et 10).Then the balloon 2 is inflated a second time to expand to. again the stenosis while allowing the passage almost normal blood flow through the catheter (Figures 3 and 10).
Le cathéter peut rester dans cette dernière position pendant un temps très long ( de l'ordre de plusieurs dizaines de minutes, si cela est nécessaire) et permettre ainsi un traitement durable de la sténose. The catheter can remain in this latter position for a very long time (of the order of several tens of minutes, if necessary) and thus allow a lasting treatment of the stenosis.
